Cajun Restaurants near Carteret, NJ

“pricy, friendly staff, fast take out, had #14 TIGER ROLL, very good, excellent fresh fish but NO CRUNCH on top as advertised which is what makes this particular roll taste better. Piece of lemon would have added more taste so that's why I only gave it 4 starts., probably return when I'm in the area. .“

“The chips and salsa, a simple yet essential part of the meal, were a crunchy prelude to the main courses. The salsa, fresh and tangy, set the stage for the flavors to follow. My choice of beer, with its crisp and refreshing taste, was the perfect accompaniment to the meal, cutting through the richness with its lightness.My wife's experience was equally enchanting, with margaritas that were a balance of sweet and sour, embodying the lively spirit of the cuisine. These drinks, coupled with the food, created a symphony of flavors that danced harmoniously on our palates.This dining experience was not just about food; it was a cultural journey. The fusion of Southern and Spanish cuisines at Jose Tejas reflects the beautiful tapestry of human experience and the unity found in diversity.As someone who appreciates the interconnectedness of history, art, and culture, this meal was a testament to the culinary art form and its ability to bring worlds together.In summary, Jose Tejas is a must-visit for those who cherish the art of food and the stories it tells.“

“This is hands-down, my new favorite seafood spot. I’m obsessed with king crabs and they definitely delivered. They give the perfect amount of spice and the perfect amount of corn and veggies in your broil. The lobster roll was sensational and well seasoned. I also love the way they deliver your beverage. The presentation is everything to me. Plus it wasn’t too sweet which I appreciate. The customer service was also amazing so I would definitely come back here again. No need to hesitate. Just go! You won’t regret it.“

“This was our 2nd time at Drew's and we already cannot wait to go back! We started with apps - voodoo shrimp and crawfish&poblano chowder - the depth of the sauce with the shrimp went on and on and on and the chowder was amazing! On to entrees- Mardi Gras pasta (new menu item) and the pork du jour - 16 oz chop with Chipotle rub and cherry demi glaze - both were so delicious. Then we forced dessert, even though neither of us had any any room! The chocolate coffee creme Brule and the salted pretzel caramel tart with vanilla ice cream were brilliant. The service was absolutely impeccable and the servers were all wonderful and so very helpful. If you haven't been, I suggest you get there ASAP!!“

“I was just there last night with my partner, and to say the least we had an amazing time. The service was truly outstanding, and the food on point. I don’t recall the servers name but she was also the bartender and she did an amazing job at making us feel welcomed and got some laughs out of us. Will totally come back for more fun nights.“

“Took my son on a Friday night for some seafood and we loved it. He had the lobster tail boil, with a corn on the cob, roasted potatoes, a side of rice and I had the Flounder Po boy sandwich & Cajun fries, with a crab bites appetizer. Everything was delicious. He loved eating with his hands. The service was great. Parking was good. No wait to sit when we got there around 630 pm. We'll be back“

“First time here and it wasn’t bad. I made a reservation so we didn’t have to wait and we were seated immediately. Took a bit of time before our waitress came to the table though. Our waitress Alyssa came over and helped us with the menu and gave us some suggestions and we went with the seafood boil for 2 which was called the Sea Lovers. We went with that selection and Calamari for the appetizer of choice.The Calamari came out pretty fast however was not hot as we expected. It was still good and had a bit of a kick to it.We choose the Nauti Crab flavor which was good, I just think they need to spread out the flavor more. The potatoes and corn didn’t have any flavor on it as we had to get the seasoning from the bottom and rub it on the corn and potatoes.We’d consider giving this place another try soon“

“The food is delish!!!!! The last 2 times I have been I tried the shrimp dishes and they did not disappoint. The wings were perfectly cooked and they have the best fries. The staff is amazing as well, very helpful and kind. Everything is very reasonably priced.“

“I love this spot so so so so so much! We order nearly every weekend for takeout delivered to us. I love their Oolong milk tea, Strawberry slush and Passion Fruit Tea. Their lychee slush is not too sweet, just right for those who prefers lighter tastes. Their seafood boil is flavorful and fresh! I love the Garlic Butter sauce, but would love to try their other sauce too. Their fried lobster ball is literally a ball of lobster meat!!! So delicious! Almost every weekend, I would always order drinks from them. I have tried Oolong milk tea from many places, but only this one will always be my favorite because it always tastes perfect.Sometimes, their website would have some kind of update and we wouldn't be able to order through online to get the drinks delivered. But whenever we call to ask if they deliver to our address, the staff would tell us that they can deliver. The problem on their website will always be quickly fixed so that we can enjoy their wonderful service again!This is one of the best locations. I highly recommend this place!“

“The place is wonderful I had so much fun eating with my brother we had lunch together and it was so good and the food is not that expensive. I would recommend this place to everyone.The lady who is the server is so nice and gives you good energy when she is taking your order.“

“I'm not complaining about the food, I'm not such a fan of seafood but my wife invited me and I did like it, what I didn't like is the misleading advertising with the price, the menu has a price, but then they say it's not updated that price and that it is 20.00 more expensive than the advertising, and well we accepted because we wanted to try, although when paying it was 40 for the increase that at the beginning was 20.00 we made a complaint and they gave us a small discount, but not if one does not check the bill they ride you more than they say that's wrong! Otherwise I liked the food!“
